본 발명은 반도체 소자의 제조 기술에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 구체적으로는 반도체 소자의 밀도에 따라서 감광액(Resist)의 종류를 달리하여 감광막 패턴을 형성하여 테두리 감광(Fogging) 효과를 최소화함으로써, 패턴별 핵심치수의 균일도를 높일 수 있는 반도체 소자의 감광막 패턴 형성 방법에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a semiconductor device manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device manufacturing method in which a photoresist pattern is formed by varying the type of a resist material according to density of semiconductor devices to minimize a fogging effect, To a method of forming a photoresist pattern of a semiconductor device.
반도체 소자의 제조 기술에서, 사진 공정은 반도체 소자의 고집적도를 선도하는 기본 기술로서, 빛을 이용하여 반도체 기판 위에 반도체 소자의 형성에 필요한 감광막 패턴을 형성하는 것이다.BACKGROUND ART [0002] In the technology of manufacturing semiconductor devices, photolithography is a basic technique leading to high integration of semiconductor devices, and forms a photoresist pattern necessary for forming semiconductor devices on a semiconductor substrate using light.
높은 해상도(resolution)의 사진 공정은 연구 분야나 산업분야에서 중요한 기술이며 반도체 소자의 높은 달성 성과와 응용을 가능하게 해 준다. 일반적으로, 마스크(MASK)는 E-beam으로 제작한다. E-beam은 전자(Electron)를 이용하여 패턴을 형성하는데, 전자는 탄성 산란(elastic scattering) 특성으로 인해서 에너지를 잃기 전까지 먼 거리를 비행하게 되면서 실제 패턴에는 노광 량이 적게 된다. 이러한 이유로 테두리 감광(Fogging) 효과가 유발된다.High-resolution photolithography is an important technology in the research and industrial sectors, enabling high performance and application of semiconductor devices. Generally, the mask (MASK) is made of E-beam. The E-beam forms a pattern using an electron. The electron travels a long distance before the energy is lost due to the elastic scattering characteristic, and the exposure amount in the actual pattern becomes small. For this reason, a border fogging effect is induced.
E-beam으로 마스크를 제작할 때 어떠한 종류의 감광액을 사용하는가에 따라 테두리 감광(Fogging) 효과가 달라진다. 도 1a에 도시된 바와 같이, 크리어(Clear, 5) 부분은 음성 감광액(negative resist)를 사용하면 전자가 들어오지 못하고, 크리어(5) 주변의 하얀색 부분을 통해 모두 들어오게 된다. 또한, 양성 감광액(positive resist)를 사용하게 되면 크리어(5) 영역만 전자가 통과하게 된다. 이렇게 감광액의 종류에 따라서 주요 패턴(main pattern)에 영향을 주는 전자의 양이 달라진다. When making a mask with an E-beam, the fogging effect varies depending on the type of sensitizing solution used. As shown in FIG. 1A, when a negative resist is used for a clear (5) portion, electrons do not enter, and all come in through a white portion around the clear 5. In addition, when a positive photoresist is used, electrons pass through only the region of the
도 1b와 같은 패턴의 경우, 음성 감광액을 사용하면, 도 1c와 같이, 핵심치수(CD)의 균일도가 나빠지는 것을 볼 수 있다. 또한, 양성 감광액을 사용하면, 도 1d와 같이, 핵심 치수 균일도가 좋아지는 것을 확인할 수 있다.In the case of the pattern shown in FIG. 1B, it can be seen that the uniformity of the core dimension (CD) is deteriorated as shown in FIG. 1C when the negative sensitizing solution is used. In addition, when positive photoresist is used, it can be confirmed that the core dimension uniformity is improved as shown in FIG. 1D.
본 발명은 반도체 소자의 밀도에 따라서 감광액의 종류를 달리하여 포토감광액 패턴을 형성하여 테두리 감광 효과를 최소화함으로써, 패턴별 핵심치수의 균일도를 높일 수 있는 반도체 소자의 감광막 패턴 형성 방법을 제시하는 것이다. The present invention proposes a method of forming a photoresist pattern of a semiconductor device capable of increasing the uniformity of the core dimensions of each pattern by forming a photoresist pattern by varying the type of the photoresist depending on the density of the semiconductor device to minimize edge sensitization.
본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 감광막 패턴 형성 방법은 기판 위에 반도체 소자의 밀도에 따라서 감광막의 종류를 달리하여 감광막을 도포하는 단계와, 감광막을 노광하는 단계와, 노광된 감광막을 현상하여 감광막 패턴을 형성하는 단계를 포함한다. 여기서, 감광막 도포는 밀도가 낮은 게이트 층 및 금속 층을 형성할 때에는 양성 감광액으로 하고, 패턴의 밀도가 높은 활성영역 및 컨택 층을 형성할 때에는 음성 감광액으로 하는 것이 바람직하다.The method for forming a photoresist pattern of a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes the steps of applying a photoresist film on a substrate with different types of photoresist films according to the density of semiconductor devices, exposing the photoresist film, developing the exposed photoresist film to form a photoresist pattern . Here, the photoresist layer is preferably applied as a positive photoresist layer when forming the gate layer and the metal layer having a low density, and the negative photoresist layer when forming the active region and the contact layer having a high pattern density.

도 2a를 참조하면, 먼저 기판(10) 위에 감광막의 접착력을 증가시키기 위해 HMDS(Hexa Methyl Di Silazane, 도시되지 않음)를 분사한다. 이후, 감광액(20)을 분사한 후, 기판(10)을 높은 회전수로 회전시켜 감광액(20)를 균일한 얇은 막의 형태로 기판(10) 전체에 도포시킨다. 이후, 기판(10)을 가열하는 소프트 베이킹 공정을 한다. 이때, 감광막(20)는 가열에 의해 솔벤트(solvent)가 증발되면서 건조되고, 접착도가 향상된다. Referring to FIG. 2A, HMDS (Hexamethyl Di Silane) (not shown) is sprayed on the
여기서, 감광막(20)은 패턴의 밀도가 낮은 게이트 층(Gate layer) 및 금속 층(Metal layer)을 형성할 때에는 양성 감광액를 사용하여 형성한다. 또한, 패턴의 밀도가 높은 활성영역(Active layer) 및 컨택 층(Contact layer)를 형성할 때에는 음성 감광액를 사용하여 형성한다. Here, the
다음으로, 노광 장비(Stepper)를 사용하여, 도 2b와 같이, 마스크(30)를 매개로 하여 빛(35)을 감광막(20)이 도포된 기판(10)의 전면에 조사한다. Next, as shown in FIG. 2B, the

다음으로, 현상 공정을 진행하여, 도 2c와 같이, 감광막 패턴(21)을 형성한다. 현상액은 TMAH(Tetramethyl Ammonium Hydroxide)를 사용한다. 현상액은 노광 과정을 통해 상대적으로 결합이 약해져 있는 부분의 감광막(20)를 녹여서 제거한다. Next, the development process is performed to form the
이때, 감광막 패턴(21)은 패턴의 밀도가 적은 게이트 층 및 금속 층을 형성할 때에는 양성 감광액을 사용하고, 패턴의 밀도가 높은 활성영역 및 컨택 층를 형 성할 때에는 음성 감광액을 사용하여 형성하였기 때문에 테두리 감광(Fogging) 효과를 최소화된다. 이에 따라, 패턴별 핵심치수의 균일도가 높아진다. 이후, 하드 베이킹 공정을 한다. 이때, 감광막 패턴(21)이 건조되면서 더욱 단단히 경화되고, 기판(10)에 대한 접착도가 증가시킨다. Since the
여기서, 반도체 소자의 밀도에 따라서 감광액의 종류를 달리하여 감광막 패턴을 형성하였기 때문에 테두리 감광 효과를 최소화할 수 있다.Here, since the photoresist pattern is formed by varying the type of the photoresist depending on the density of the semiconductor device, the edge photoresponse effect can be minimized.
본 발명에 따른 반도체 소자의 감광막 패턴 형성 방법은 반도체 소자의 밀도에 따라서 음성 감광액 또는 양성 감광액을 사용하여 감광막 패턴을 형성하였기 때문에 테두리 감광 효과를 최소화할 수 있다.In the method of forming a photoresist pattern of a semiconductor device according to the present invention, a photoresist pattern is formed using a negative photoresist or a positive photoresist depending on the density of a semiconductor device, thereby minimizing the edge photoresist effect.
또한, 본 발명에 따르면, 밀도에 따라 감광액을 달리하여 테두리 감광 효과를 최소화하였기 때문에 패턴별 핵심치수의 균일도를 높일 수 있다.In addition, according to the present invention, since the edge sensitizing effect is minimized by varying the sensitizing solution depending on the density, the uniformity of the core dimensions of each pattern can be increased.
